EPiServer Gadget Contest 2009

EPiServer World is currently running its Gadget Contest 2009, awarding great prizes for the most useful and technically excellent EPiServer CMS 6 dashboard gadgets.

All you have to do is to enter your gadgets in the contest by submitting them between October 19 and November 30 to EPiServer World. All entries will be rated and commented by members of EPiServer World, but the final decision will be made by a competent jury. The winners will be announced in a week after the deadline of the contest, November 30, 23:59.

Submitted gadgets must run on EPiServer CMS 6 CPT2 and if the gadget is integrated with external systems, these systems must be publicly available (i.e. anyone using/installing the gadget must be able to set up access to the system).

The best of the best will be awarded based on five main factors: (1) coolness of the overall concept; (2) usefulness, (3) technical quality; (4) openness: submit your gadget as open source; (5) time to market: submit your solution early.

The first prize of the contest is a Samsung 42", Full HD TV, the second prize is a Sony PlayStation 3 Slim, the third prize is an Apple iPod Nano 16Gb, and all runners-up will be awarded a 12-month Spotify Premium subscription.

All details about the contest are available on the EPiServer CMS 6 Gadget Contest 2009 official website.

Happy hacking and good luck!
